Ben is going to be adding to our draft coverage this offseason, as well as some other potential projects. You may know Ben from his SB Nation tag: jbacon55 (yes, it was the bacon in his username that confirmed his legitimacy for me).

With the Pro Bowl now over, the Super Bowl just a few short days away, and that deflating loss in Foxboro firmly in the rearview mirror, the Colts’ roller coaster season has finally come to an end.
There are several takeaways from this season, but for our purposes the most notable was highlighted in that playoff loss to the Patriots: this team has needs all over the roster.
